More and more outlets are speculating that 4x Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler may be doing the 2023 Masters Olympia. Some believe the former Mr. Olympia and multi-year Arnold Classic champion is eying the big $10,000 check. There’s any number of things Jay could do with that kind of money, from getting his cars washed to stocking up on dog food. The prospect of taking that giant check to his local bank might be enough for him to endure the sixteen weeks of eating bland egg whites and chugging sugar-free Tang. But seriously, Jay is a millionaire who commands a lion’s share of fans all over the world, and makes big money on a variety of ventures, which include top level sponsorships. There’s no way he is hurting for money and definitely not the chump’s change he would make by doing this competition. So that’s definitely not the reason, but still a funny way to start the article.

The stakes are so high for the Mr. Olympia, that I suspect a lot of top bodybuilders will sit out most of the 2023 contest season. There’s the guys who did really well at last year’s Olympia and there’s the guys who just did the Arnold and capitalized on their appearance in Columbus. When you look at guys like Derek, Nick, Ramy, Samson, and Brandon there’s just no reason for them to compete. If Brandon didn’t do the Arnold, it’s unlikely he’d do the New York Pro or even less likely that he’d do a smaller contest. Once you’ve done the Olympia and the Arnold, there isn’t much else. The NY Pro is the solid 3rd biggest show and that’s always a possibility.

It seems that Nick “The Mutant” Walker is upset with the judges over their decision to give Samson Dauda a perfect score at the 2023 Arnold Classic. And it wasn’t just a perfect score at the prejudging, rather, Dauda got perfect scores for the prejudging and the finals.

One common problem that affects many people is poor posture. While most people are not even aware of their bad posture, it does have a negative impact on their body in more ways than one.
